I'm supposed to be on a self-imposed work ban on this holiday (I'm in Greece), but the other afternoon it started to pour down with rain and Mr AMR was watching old cowboy films on the television and so I decided to kill some time and make a quick beauty video....
Another foundation launch; this time it's Estée Lauder with the Perfectionist Youth-Infusing Makeup. Foundations are just getting better and better; lightweight formulas, great coverage and glowy finishes that aren't shimmery or reflective, but give the skin a "lit...
This year Max Factor are celebrating 100 Years of Glamour. It has been a whole hundred years since Mr Max Factor (real person!) launched his first ever cosmetic, his Flexible Grease Paint Foundation. Max Factor was a bit of a mover and a shaker in the makeup world; he...
I really need to get some kind of video-posting system going; I publish a video and then it takes me about five weeks to write about it! I am mid-way through a website re-structure (if you ever come to the site during the witching hours (2am-4am) you'll no doubt see...
I asked Lily from LilyPebbles.co.uk to tell me about her favourite summery nail polishes and then - try not to die of excitement here - I told her all about mine! Granted it's not one of my top ten conversational topics of choice, but we were supposed to be chatting...
I made a nice little bronzing video for The Telegraph this week; I was trying to channel 1990's Kate Moss, so very dusty bronzed skin with nothing much on the eyes or lips. I put to use one of my favourite summertime products, Chanel's Tan de Soleil, which is a cream...
A massive load of people asked for a video using Clinique's new Matte Mandarin lipstick and so here it is in full, glorious technicolor. It was actually the entire "look" that I wore in my How to Style Greasy and Limp Hair video that people seemed to want and so I...
Another bunch of beauty reviews for you; this time I'm "live testing" Lancome's new Miracle Air de Teint foundation, Clinique's new Feathering mascara and a second mascara, a violet-hued Maxi Lash version from Guerlain. The response to these videos seems to be very...
The second instalment of my "beauty reviews" - I do hope that this will become a regular feature. It's useful, I think, to see products being applied - obviously you can't feel the texture yourself, but you get a good idea of how a foundation blends, or how pigmented...
Some of the Youtube-phobes amongst you might actually like this video; it's really short and I don't speak! I'm planning on doing a few more music-only videos, mostly because it's a relief not to have to sit there listening to the sound of my own voice for hours on...
I was very much in two minds as to whether I was going to post up my "Brit Awards" makeup look - there's something about it that irks me. I think partly the lighting - I like filming in natural daylight so much more - but it could be, as I mentioned a week or so ago,...
I didn't have a clue what to call this makeup look, so I went with something yawn-inducingly generic. Sorry. But I do love this little routine I've got going with the slightly sultry, metallic eye and the pretty flush of pink on the cheeks. And I absolutely can't get...
